Saddened to hear of Lex Jansen’s passing. There was a time when much of what I knew about statistical programming came from lexjansen.com. Although I’ve since moved away from #SAS, his commitment to openness and knowledge sharing left a lasting impact on our community. He will be deeply missed.

Excited to be joining my first JSM conference AND presenting at the STAI-X conference! Don't be a stranger and feel free to connect to grab some coffee! #rstats #statistics #jsm2026

Lovely Set of #rstats color pallets: ltc-color-palettes

So Thankful for the MASSIVE turn out at our second event for the Greater Boston R User Group meeting! Outstanding Conversations from econometrics, to health equity / policy, to clinical trials and causal inference #rstats

Looking forward to co-hosting the next Greater Boston useR Group meetup! Come join us! #Boston #rstats

Is Repeated Bayesian Interim Analysis Consequence-Free? See this excellent conversation that has taken place over the past year at #datamethods tinyurl.com/fhdatamethods #StatsSky #Statistics #ClinicalTrials

@kdoudrick.bsky.social What a wild ride to read: #academicsky @elsevierconnect.bsky.social

I feel like every time a new editor joins a major journal there should be a public hearing like we do with FDA commissioners. #academicsky #episky

I could not be happier to be a part of this wonderful group as a new co-organizer of the Boston R User Group! I’m excited to help restart this wonderful community along with @rachaeldempsey.bsky.social and @damiepak.bsky.social #rstats #statistics #rstats #boston

I also cannot recommend enough @pwgtennant.bsky.social's and @georgiatomova.bsky.social outstanding article on Lord's paradox. arxiv.org/pdf/2302.01822

I think about this figure from @stephensenn.bsky.social's Statistical Issues in Drug Development a lot (Ch. 7) alot. A useful reminder that baseline adjustment is often about precision not just “controlling for confounding.” #StatsSky #Statistics #EpiSky

Okay now people are really making up symbols:

Very Excited for the next Causal Inference Seminar at @jhubiostat.bsky.social on May 21st! #statsky #academicsky #skystats

Wonderful manuscript on the need and power of Statistical Methodology Groups in Pharma , authored by Jennifer Davenport at Roche, @numbersman77.bsky.social, and others! Below are some of my favorite quotes #skystats #statssky #statistics #EpiSky

I absolutely love this. Caregiver grants for those who need it to join @amstatnews.bsky.social JSM this year. I hope more conferences move in this direction. #academiceky #skystats #statssky #JSM2026

"The algorithm did not become compassionate; however, the medical profession has drifted so far from the bedside that an AI language model can now outperform physicians on the very quality that medicine assumed would remain uniquely human." Great viewpoint @jama.com #skystats tinyurl.com/4yv8b6y5

Thrilled to realize my JHU schedule overlaps with @pwgtennant.bsky.social for my first in-person causal inference seminar! @jhubiostat.bsky.social

For anyone who is doing statistical simulation work, I honestly cannot recommend @timpmorris.bsky.social's elegant 2019 manuscript on ADEMP framework enough. Outlining a structured approach to planning sim studies, w/in-depth examples+how to display Monte Carlo SEs. #statssky#statistics #academicsky

I worry that a strongly informative prior, if wrong, could heavily influence results in a small dataset, whereas in a much larger dataset it would have much less effect on the posterior. I imagine you are stuck using uninformative priors? Sad to have missed the talk! #statistics #statssky #skystats

What if you combine open datasets with AI? Apparently, a 3 fold increase in low quality research papers, mass-produced by paper mills. Interesting study in @jclinepi.bsky.social #academicsky #episky #medsky #Skystats Thanks to @maartenvsmeden.bsky.social for initially posting this on Linkedin!

Yikes Instagram. An Advertisement for a company that promises to learn how to do meta-analysis: “In just a matter of weeks you can get a great study [systemic review/ meta analysis] done published in top journals…without a statistician or [slow collaboration process]” #academicsky #metascience

Quite interesting read. I wish I got to hear a little bit more about FDA decisions like this in more detail as well. evidenceinthewild.com/about/ #statssky #skystats #academicsky

library(rms) dd <- datadist(mtcars) options(datadist = "dd") f <- lrm(am ~ mpg + wt, data = mtcars,x=TRUE,y=TRUE) c <- calibrate(f) validate(f) plot(c)

This is why we need forums like bluesky and discourse.datamethods.org #academicsky #statssky #statistics #skystats

The web version of this text is incredibly high yield. Block quotes from other statisticians. Audio-inputs. Also an excellent table at the end (which I can only partly screen cap on my phone). #academicsky #statistics #statssky

I didn't realize this until the other day but I usually keep matches and a candle on my coffee table (an old wooden chest) and it is essentially all the ingredients you need to estimate pi and solve Buffons Needle problem. I can't unsee it now. My poor future houseguests. #statssky #statistics #math

Because @laurewynants.bsky.social and @benvancalster.bsky.social do no get on here much #DataScience #MachineLearning #MissingData #Imputation #Rstats #Python #AI journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

I was thinking about the efficiency of nonparametric tests and remembered this SO post about the Wilcox being 96% as efficient as T test, even in small samples. For those who have a copy, Lehman & Romano did an thorough job in <5 pages detailing situation. #statssky #statistics #rstats #AcademicSky
